I just finished my 1L at St. John's (should be working on the writing competition, but I'm taking a brain break), and while I don't know much about it (not really being interested in the program), I know St. John's is well known for its Bankruptcy LLM, so with your background, maybe that's something that would interest you, J_ngle Dave.

1L at St. Johns...how does the scheduling work for 1Ls?...like 5 days of class, or 4 or 3 or whatever...and what do most kids do during their time between classes?

Thanks a lot.

I would love to hear everything about the school! i was accepted recently and it is now high on my list...

Are there nice places to live by campus?

Do any students commute from Manhatten?

Competitive atmosphere? etc etc

I went there for UG and I am going for LS, so I can only answer your first question. SJU is in Jamaica Estates, which is a nice place, but expensive. There are other neighborhoods surrounding SJU that are nice and less expensive, but you would probably need a car to live there.. Also, SJU has some housing available for grad students, which I hear are pretty nice.

As for as the competitive atmosphere, I couldn't know, but I hear that it isn't nearly as bad as some schools..
